Chax updated, adds Growl support

By David Chartier

Remember Chax,
the free, feature-packed iChat plugin we found a couple weeks ago? It's received a couple of minor updates and tweaks since then, and one I thought worth mentioning was
Growl support. Previously, the only way I knew of getting iChat to play with Growl was GrowliChat, a separate app that was more or less a one-trick pony.

Other new features in Chax's tiny bump to version 1.3.2 include:

  • Automatically set status to away when the screen saver is activated
  • Show animated user icons in the contact list
  • Hide iChat and new message windows when iChat is inactive
  • French localization

Check out the version history of changes for the full skinny on what's new, updated and fixed. Chax is a free plugin, but donations are always welcome at the developer's site.
